Ozzy Osbourne's Merry Mayhem Dates Postponed Due To Leg Fracture

NEW YORK (AP) - Ten dates of Ozzy Osbourne's current Merry Mayhem tour with Rob Zombie, among others, have been postponed as the rocker recovers from a leg-stress fracture suffered during a recent fall.

Osbourne fell while exiting the shower before a show in Tucson, Ariz., on Halloween, but continued performing on the tour until the leg pain became intolerable. The services of a doctor were called on, and Osbourne was promptly sidelined with a stress fracture and ordered off his feet immediately, according to a post on his official Web site on Friday (Nov. 9).

As a result, 10 dates have been postponed through Atlanta on Nov. 24. Osbourne is currently back in Los Angeles, where his home physician is sizing up the extent of his injuries, and information of the rescheduling of the dates will be released as soon as that assessment is determined.

The following Merry Mayhem dates, with Zombie, Mudvayne, and Soil, have been postponed:

Nov. 9, Houston, Compaq Center
Nov. 10, Bossier City, La., CenturyTel Arena
Nov. 12, Knoxville, Tenn., Thompson Boling Arena
Nov. 14, Nashville, Gaylord Entertainment Center
Nov. 15, Cleveland, Gund Arena
Nov. 17, Cincinnati, Firstar Arena
Nov. 19, Birmingham, Ala., BJCC
Nov. 21, West Palm Beach, Fla., Mars Music Amphitheater
Nov. 23, Greensboro, N.C., Greensboro Coliseum
Nov. 24, Atlanta, Phillips Arena
